The Eclipse Of Fire And Ice

14

Aranya woke up hearing a lovely melody that came from outside the ice cave she was in. Seeing that no one was with her, she followed the melody, there she saw the side figure of yule, sitting under the frost tree while holding a flute made out of ice.

"Ang ganda...."

Aranya said in dazed. Frost tree is indeed a beautiful tree, it is also rare and you can only see this kind of tree in the snow territory.

"Nagustuhan mo ba?"

Nakangiting tanong ni yule saka sinalubong si aranya.
Natauhan naman si aranya at nagtatakang tiningnan si yule. Nagtataka ito sa kilos niya at kung ano ba talagang balak niya.

"It is indeed beautiful."

Sabi ni aranya saka naglakad palayo dahilan para magtaka si yule kaya naman ay sinundan niya ito, nang biglang huminto si aranya at muling humarap sakanya.

"Now that your healed and you owed your life to me. Isipin mo nalang na hindi mo ako nakita and were even."

Sabi ni aranya saka aktong aalis na ng hindi na ito makagalaw, as if an invisible wall was on her way.
Napangisi naman si yule saka dahan dahang lumapit sa kinaroroonan ni aranya.

"I wont forget you, nor we will be even, you owe me too much, now you have to pay it."

Aranya felt a tickling sensation near her ears as she can feel Yule's breath touching her neck as he said those word, yet she felt confuse, how come she owes him now?

"I Owe You?!"

Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni aranya saka humarap kay yule na ngayon ay ilang pulgada nalang ang layo sakanya. She can clearly feel his warm breath, while also starting to notice how her heart start to beat faster than usual.

"Pwede rin namang ako yung may utang sayo, pero... wala akong balak bayaran ka."

Yule said in a sweet yet flirty voice as he grab her waist pulling her much closer to him, where their lips could almost touch each other.

For a moment, aranya seems lost and lets him be but then when they were about to kiss, she suddenly pushed him away along with her curses.

"Manyakrapistbastos!"

Sunod sunod na sabi nito dahilan para mapatawa si yule.

"Since when did i became a rapist?"

Hindi makapaniwalang sabi nito.
Inis namang naglakad palayo si aranya pero agad din naman uling napahinto ng hindi na ito muling makagalaw pa.

"Hoy! Ano bang ginawa mo sakin? Walang utang na loob na rapist!"

Galit na sigaw ni aranya dahilan para hindi mawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ni yule. Mga ngiting ngayon niya lang uli nagawa, saya na ngayon niya lang muling naramdaman.

"If someone were to hear you, they might get the wrong idea. They might think your not pure anymore... But don't worry, even if your not, i will take responsibility of you."

Nakangiting sabi ni yule habang papalapit kay aranya.

"But i atleast need to kill that guy first right?"

Pabulong nitong sabi sarili.

"You cant run away. I've put an invisible binding bracelet in your hands."

Sa sinabing yung ni yule ay agad naman kinulipa ni aranya ang dalawang kamay at doon ay naramdaman nga niya naman ang isang hindi nakikitang bagay sa kamay niya at aktong kinuha ngunit bigo, dahil nakadikit na ito sakanya.

"Get this off."

Walang emosyong sabi ni aranya. Nawala narin ang ngiti sa labi ni yule sa mga sandaling yun. He hates this side of her. Being all serious and hiding her true emotion.

"Ayoko."

Sabi nito saka naglakad na. Wala namang magawa si aranya kundi ang sumunod.

"Sino ka ba talaga? Ano ba talagang balak mo?"

Tanong nito habang sa kalagitnaan ng paglalakad.

"Im yule. And as for what i want to do with you....." Bigla itong huminta sa paglalakad saka muling hinarap si aranya dahilan para mapaatras ito. "I plan on making you my wife." Nakangiti at kalmadong sabi nito dahilan para mapaubo ito sa pagkakalunok ng sariling laway.

"Dream on! You pervert!"

Sigaw dito ni aranya at aktong maglalakad na uli sana sila pabalik ng yelong kweba ng biglang harangan sila ng mga kawal na niev, na di kukulang sa isang dosena ang bilang.

"Look what we got here! Mukhang matutuwa dito ang pinunong gael."

Nakangiting sabi ng isa sakanila saka sabay sabay na inatake ang dalawa. Both summoned their swords and fought them side by side. Nagtaka panga si Aranya kung bakit kinakalaban ni Yule ang sarili niyang uri pero ipinagsawalang bahala niya muna iyon at tumutok muna sa laban.

"What a weak niev!"

Bulong ni aranya habang tuloy parin ang pakikipaglaban na saktong narinig naman ni yule.

"Who?"

Masamang tiningnan ni aranya si yule ng nakuha niya pang tanungin kung sino ang tinutukoy nito habang nasa gitna ng laban.

"Ikaw! Malamang!"

Sagot naman nito sabay nun ay ang pagtatapos din ng laban. Ilang minuto lang ay natalo na nila agad ang mga kalaban.

"How am i weak?"

Tanong ni yule dito.

"As far as i know, nievs has the ability to control ice or snow, you use neither of them in the battle!"

Inis na sabi ni aranya saka nauna ng naglakad na sinundan naman ni yule.

"Sino ba nagsabi sayo na isa akong nie---arghh!"

Agad napahinto si aranya ng narinig niya ang namimilipit sa sakit na ungol ni yule. Dali dali itong tumakbo sa dereksyon niya at napatingin sa kamay nito na parang kinakain ng yelo papuntang balikat nito.

"A-anong nangyayari sa kamay mo?"

Nag aalalang tanong nito.

"Your a niev! How can an ice attack you? And its within you?!"

Sabi nito saka sinubukang hawakan ang kamay niya sa pagbabasakaling mapagaling niya ito gamit ang kapangyarihan niya pero bigo ito dahil hindi nanaman gumana ang kapangyarihan niya.

"It's no use. The Crimson hellfire within you is only meant to protect you. You cant use it."

Gulat namang napatingin si aranya kay yule. She never mentioned she has the crimson hellfire power. Seems like he's more than what he seems to be.

"Who told you i cant use it? I've already use it once!"

Inis na sabi ni aranya.

"How?"

Nagtatakang tanong ni yule.

"On one of my enemies. I've made her bath on a hot weather."

Sabi ni naman ni aranya. Napaisip naman si yule at isa lang ang dahilan na pumasok sa utak nito. She didn't use the fire ability but the ice or snow ability. Kinuha nito ang lamig sa loob ng katawan o di naman kaya ay sa paligid, dahilan para init nalang ang manatili.

'Seem's like she can still use the snow and ice ability, but only on a small doses and on a certain chances.'

-

"What's the use of escaping when your still going to end up in here again."

His voice was clear but wicked.
In front of him was anadya's body who's both hands were chained, and by the looks of her, she seemed to have endured a few beatings from him.

"Halimaw!"

Hirap na sabi ni anadya pero halata sa boses nito ang galit at pagkasuklam.
Natawa naman ang lalaki saka mahigpit na hinawakan ang leeg niya.

"Magpasalamat ka nalang at ikaw ang napili kong pag eksperementuhan! Kung maging matagumpay man ay magkakaroon ka---tayo! ng buhay na walang hanggan kagaya nalang ng panginoong melantha at kung hindi man..." He paused for a second and smiled creepily. "Buhay mo lang naman ang magiging kapalit." Sabi nito saka nakakakilabot na humalakhak.
